Artist #5: Matt Gardner

Matt Gardner is both a talented illustrator/animator and a talented geek as well. Together, he uses his powers to create some seriously awesome and hilarious comic book flash parodies.






One of the things I noticed right away about his style is that his characters don't have any limbs- their arms and legs just kind of hover. I suppose this probably makes for easier animation, but it also adds some humor to the proceedings.

His cartoons mainly serve to poke fun at the comic book universe, often breaking the fourth wall to do so, and it is clear that his has a vast knowledge of the source material by the many obscure references he throws into the mixture.
